Nu Jazz is a potent cocktail of electronica, house, trio hop and samples of classic jazz. I first discovered this sub genre via St Germain’s ‘Tourist’ album: a cult classic that featured Ernest Ranglin’s tasty guitar work along with bits from Marlena Shaw, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker and Roland Kirk.
Some of the albums below are a bit hard to find, so do try and check out the individual tracks. Jazz purists may turn their noses up at this music, but their feet will thank them later.
